TV Projects - Cooler...
Ectokid - For TV
...A further attempt to pick up the unfulfilled storylines of the Razorline 'Barkerverse' looks like it has much going for it so far - with Nickelodeon Pictures and Paramount picking up both the TV rights to Ectokid and rights to a feature. (See our Films Still To Come... section) Perhaps this is the resurrection of the Saturday morning cartoon that Clive was planning with Malcolm Smith and Marc McLaurin way back in 1994, as the Razorline imprint imploded...
Unlike the film project, expect Clive to exec produce, leaving Joe Daley to take on production with Don Murphy...
"But we've got lots going on, as you can hear... Ectokid, the comic, has just been sold to Nickelodeon, the movie - which I will produce."

"In Ecto-kid, the Other Side is here and now. This other world is our world - but not. It's everywhere, but nowhere...
"I hope to create a franchisable world for Nickelodeon, but also one of the great, transcendent beauty; one that reconfigures people's expectations of what ghosts are, of what comes after death."
Par, Nick Take 'Kid' For Ride
By Claude Brodesser and Cathy Dunkley, Daily Variety, 13 August 2001
"I've done a 100-page treatment for Ectokid... Nickelodeon is going to do Ectokid - I think that's a long development process because it's an elaborate movie, but if they really go for it I think it's going to be pretty amazing. I think that's two or three years off."
Open Roads... What Price Wonderland?
By Phil and Sarah Stokes, 3 April 2002 (note - full text here)
Don Murphy (producer) : "I am really excited to bring a master of suspense like Clive Barker to a new, family audience. It's an audience that Nickelodeon understands and reaches completely and very capably."
The Evil One
...Following Clive's successful re-incarnation of an unused treatment for Fox into Saint Sinner, the Sci-Fi Channel have confirmed that they are working with Clive again. This series of TV thrillers has been slated for their 2004/05 season alongside a Stargate (Atlantis) spin-off and a Spawn series (Suture Girl) with Todd McFarlane producing...
Sci-Fi Channel : "It's not always easy being the bad guy - and, frankly, it's hard to get truly evil help these days. Told from the perspective of an evil demon, this new series from Barker turns traditional narrative on its ear - where each week, the forces of good and evil do battle. However, in this weekly series, the Anti-Hero often wins..."
Sci-Fi Channel : "Barker is the creative force behind this new thriller series, told from the perspective of an evil demon, in which the forces of good and evil do battle each week. Produced by Seraphim, Inc., Barker executive produces. USACE distributes."
Sci-Fi Channel, 1 April 2003
"We've just turned in to the Sci-Fi Channel the first two hours of what will hopefully eventually be a series, called The Evil One. I'm telling you this for the first time, because nobody knows about this yet...
"We only just did it literally today. So it's turned in, but you are right, this is Evil and now called The Evil One. I hope they don't think it is too dark. I'm very excited about the idea of taking evil as the subject and saying, Ok this is what it is going to be about. That's now been turned in as of today."

Heretic / American Heretics
...Seraphim Films has long been working on this TV series about the dark secrets of America's fore-fathers for HBO - who may be more receptive to Barker-style material than other channels...
"I was taking a meeting with a writer called Matt Wilder, and my team at Seraphim Films, about an upcoming series -- Dark Fantasy -- for HBO called Heretic. Matt is scripting the first two-hour movie for us from a mythology which I've created."
People Online Appearance
Transcript of on-line appearance, 30 July 1998
"We also have a series tentatively called Heretics for HBO. We'll start with a two hour movie and it will become a series if it works. The cool thing about HBO, because it's cable, you have all kinds of freedom in terms of the amount of graphic material in the story which is useful if you are trying scare people. (Pauses). I'm trying to make the television thing work. It's hard sometimes because there's a lot of compromise in television. There's a lot of compromise in movies too. The rules and regulations seem even stronger in network television and there seems to be so many fingers in the pie, constantly. On the other hand, potentially you reach a huge audience. So that's the trade off."
By [Stephen Dressler and Cheryl Bentzen], Lost Souls, Issue 10, June 1998
Matthew Wilder : "In the last year... I also wrote American Heretics, a pilot for HBO and executive producer Clive Barker that's a sort of alternative history of America [and] History Of The Devil for Clive's Seraphim Films, an adaptation of the play."
UCSD, 1999 (note - online at www-theatre.ucsd.edu/)
History of the Devil
...At one stage, this play - originally written in 1980 - looked bound for the big screen with Matt Wilder having scripted an adaptation (see Films That Got Away...). However, after a lengthy period of silence, the Sci-Fi Channel stepped in in March 2004 with a deal for a six hour TV mini-series scheduled for production later in 2004. Barker will executive produce from Peter Filardi's new adaptation...
"Well, Peter Filardi, who wrote - I guess people who come to Revelations will know him best for Flatliners, actually. And his producing team came to me with a vision of wanting to do History Of The Devil as a six-hour mini-series - which I thought was a really cool idea. They really had a passion for the material and a real take on it and I always thought there was a cool way to expand that narrative and tell all these stories, all those little stories of the Devil's playing, fiddling in the workings of history in some more expanded form, that audiences would enjoy. So that's what they're aiming to do. So we're hoping that will all move forward. I think Peter right now is writing - I think it'll take him a long time to write six hours, so we probably won't see anything for six to nine months...
"I think it's potentially an immensely rich narrative and it's a dream role for somebody. I mean, to play all those manifestations of evil, all those kinds of evil in six hours, because the Devil gets to shape-change, in a way. I always said to Doug, 'Play the Devil as Andy Warhol,' in the way that Andy (well, I only met him once but everybody says this about him) he seemed to be a blank slate in a way - a tabula rasa - upon which anything could be scrawled and you can imagine anything about him could be true. And I said, 'Doug - try that,' and he did his own version which was incredibly successful; he did his own, English take on that - curiously, wilfully bland. And then, of course, during the scenes, during the flashbacks, he could be many things: he could be an angry child at the beginning; he could be a born aristocrat when he creates Jack Easter; there are all these various forms which he could take through the individual stories. And, most chillingly, when he played the man accounting the numbers of dead in the Second World War, in the Holocaust - he became some terrifying accountant, with a book, numbering the dead - I thought it was a brilliant performance. It remains in my head, crystalline after all these years. What is it? 25 years? And I saw it a lot, I saw it a lot in a lot of different stages but it really was a magnificent performance...
"I think the interesting thing about what Peter Filardi and his gang is doing - to bring this full circle - is that they are very much thinking, 'How can we make this mind-blowing television?' And I think that's great."
In Anticipation Of The Deluge: A Moment At The River's Edge
By Phil and Sarah Stokes, 1 and 12 July 2004 (note - full text here)
"We have a deal to do The History of the Devil as a six-hour miniseries. That's a play of mine, in which the devil is taken to trial for his sins against humankind, demanding that he be released to go back to heaven. It's really about the history of evil, which is an interesting subject."
Clive Barker's Dark Plans
By Joe Nazzaro, www.fangoria.com, 2 December 2004
Peter Filardi : "Going from stage to film we're really going to be able to open it up and dramatize it. It's really not so much a horror thing though as it is John Milton meets John Grisham."
Filardi Speaks Of It And The Devil
By Ryan Rotten, Creature Corner at www.creaturecorner.com, 18 May 2004
Peter Filardi : "Working with Clive Barker is an inspiration. The man writes all day and paints all night. His home is a floor-to-ceiling explosion of fantastic canvases. When we need an idea at any given juncture of the adaptation process for History Of The Devil, Clive has ten. He's the closest I've come to the condition we recognize as 'genius.'
"History Of The Devil is in the outline stage of the first draft for Sci Fi, the miniseries will be six hours long, and the outline alone is fifty pages. Think John Milton meets John Grisham. Through courtroom testimony, our audience will be transported back in time through a series of vignettes which illustrate and examine the devil's role in man's history. The prosecution argues that the devil has had a disastrous effect on mankind. The defense counters that the devil is, and always has been, man's greatest scapegoat. As you can imagine, the devil will be a difficult being to pin down.
"We want an A-list actor for this role of a lifetime; a handsome, charming, malevolent shapeshifter."

Coldheart Canyon
...Clive made one quick mention of this back in 2002 but then everything went quiet. We didn't really expect to hear word of this again, but Fangoria are reporting from their June 2006 Weekend of Horrors that Peter Filardi has been speaking about his adaptation of Coldheart Canyon for TNT...
"Whoopi Goldberg and I are discussing a mini-series based on Coldheart Canyon for TV... I think [it would be perfect] and Whoopi is a huge horror fan."
It's Only When He Talks About Hollywood That The Evil Comes Out
By Paula Guran, The Spook, Issue 6, January 2002
Night Gallery
...Pretty vague, but here's an early indication that another short story might be bound for the TV treatment...
"One of the seminal horror anthology series is in the process of being reincarnated at Universal and NBC. Dish hears that producers Tom Thayer (former Universal TV prexy) and Dave Phillips are working with Manny Coto ('The Outer Limits') to put together a two-hour pilot of 'Night Gallery', with hopes of turning it into an hour-long series. They're talking with Stephen King and Clive Barker, among others, to contribute stories for the pilot, though the principals said no deals have been made.
"The King story they're after is 'The Boogeyman', which originated in his short story collection 'Night Shift', and concerned a man who shares his paranoia about boogeymen with a new therapist. 'Night Gallery' is best remembered for launching the directing career of Steven Spielberg, and utilizing the narrating talents of Rod Serling."
Classic Horror, Reborn
By [Dish], Variety, [July 1999]
Witness to Fear
...Seraphim Films look set to develop this TV series uncovering the realities of urban legend for the Action Adventure Network and DirecTV. Michael Hamilton Wright is working on the pilot script. We understand that the overarching concept of Witness To Fear is that some tabloid TV producers who peddle fantastic paranormal tales for the amusement of the masses discover that what they thought was make-believe is in fact reality...
"[There's] a series called Witness to Fear for the Action Adventure Network, which doesn't yet exist. It's a channel which Francis Coppola is making a series for and Oliver Stone is making a series for. I guess there are five [production] companies making series for them, and we're luckily one of them. And that's great."
Lord of New Illusions
By W.C.Stroby, Fangoria, No 175, August 1998
Spirit City USA
...Early attempts to convince TV executives that Clive's material was suitable for the mainstream audience came a cropper on Spirit City USA. Was Roy Winchester, the wandering (dead) magician who has escaped Houdini-like from beyond the grave on the anniversary of his death but has unwittingly brought another hundred spirits through with him, a precurser to Christopher Lloyd's character in Quicksilver Highway almost a decade later...?
"I'm doing a pilot for a TV series... the chances are Mick [Garris] and I'll be working on one, maybe two, TV pilots. I would executive produce and again provide the stories. Neither of them are out and out horror; both of them are dark fantasy. It's part of the attempt on my part to get access to a larger audience without watering the material down, without the material becoming bland. "
Chains of Love
By Mark Salisbury Fear, No 3, December 1988
"It's about an escapologist who dies because one of his tricks goes seriously wrong. Then he performs the greatest escape trick of his life: he escapes from death and comes back. Unfortunately, in escaping, he liberates about 250 spirits, and turns Los Angeles into 'Spirit City, USA'."
'Spirit' Moves Him
By [ ] Newsday, 17 October 1988
"Spirit City turned out to be too weird for the sponsors [ABC-TV]. They wanted something a little bit tamer and Mick [Garris] and I felt we couldn't provide that. It was rather off the wall. [The main character is a dead magician] which was probably a bad start as far as ABC were concerned. It's a notion Mick and I will probably run with elsewhere. It's certainly an idea I'm totally committed to, and I think people will have fun with it.
"Mick wrote the pilot with me overseeing its development as I was in the process of finishing off The Great And Secret Show. It's a series of ideas that deserve life in some form or other. I remain cynical about TV's ability to present the kind of material I favour. There are so many creative constraints, so many presumptions TV executives bring to any project about what will or will not work. When you talk to them you know they have a checklist in their heads. They have their sponsors and a rigid sense of what's gone before. They don't have a great enthusiasm for experimentation, for breaking the rules - and I've always been a rule breaker."
Clive Barker - Lord of the Breed
By Philip Nutman, Fangoria, No 91, April 1990 {Note : interview took place in June 1989}
Mick Garris : "All of [the spirits] have to go back to their rightful place or all Hell will literally break loose on Earth. You have a hundred potential episodes with a great deal of diversity. It's such a strong idea I'm surprised no-one has picked up the option."
The Sleeper Awakes
By Philip Nutman, Fear, No 17, May 1990
Mick Garris : "Spirit City USA was a pilot that Clive Barker and I did. It was an idea that Clive had and he was still living in London at the time so I was staying in a grody little room in a fancy hotel called Brown's Hotel, lonely as hell... And so every day I would go over and sit with Clive for a couple of hours while we would talk about it and then I would go off to my room and write the script pages and then the next day go through the same process. So that was an hour-long pilot that was written for ABC, which was not really in the Clive Barker business in those days - not that anybody was."

The Books Of Blood
...No idea how many of the Books of Blood were planned for adaptation at HBO back in the 1980's but negotiations clearly went nowhere.
Two decades later, the title - and maybe only the title - looked to be resurrected by Frank Darabont as a framing device for a TV horror anthology. Early plans were for Darabont and Barker to collaborate in picking suitably striking short stories from a variety of authors across the genre...
"I'm now doing some stuff, doing some TV for ABC and probably we're going to do the Books of Blood for HBO as well. The problem with network television, the thing you're faced with all the time - [with] horror on network TV - is that it has to be so mild and my horror fiction is not mild, so we're always dealing with the problem of, again, censorship, I'm afraid."
The Larry King Show
By Larry King, 11 October 1988
"There's still the Home Box Office Books of Blood series too..."
In The Heat Of Nightbreed
Set visit by Alan Jones, Starburst, No 133, September 1989
Frank Darabont : "We really want to make the Books of Blood to be a story-driven, writer-driven piece of work. There's so many great stories to tell in the genre and I thought, hell, if anybody knows these stories, it's gotta be Clive Barker. The idea is we would choose the stories, whether it was Fritz Leiber, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, or something very cutting edge like David Schow - whatever story it is, as long as it's got a real quality of writing of writing going for it. 'Cause I miss that, especially in anthologies. The one's we've had lately are kind of lacklustre. They seem to oddly be avoiding the fact that there are thousands of great stories that have been written through the years.
"Whatever the tonality is, what I don't want to do is proscribe what kind of stories Books of Blood has to be. That's why anthologies continue to be stale. Go for the throat! Go wherever the great stories are! Hopefully, this'll be a series that'll scare the crap out of you and we'll earn that."
2002 Screenwriting Expo
Moderated by Den Shewman, 17 November 2002 (note - reported online at www.creature-corner.com)
...in 2003, Variety reported that NBC Studios had plans to work with Clive on a TV drama which hoped to combine scares and comedy in the same breath. Written by Clive and Teddy Tannenbaum (credited on a recent episode of The Dead Zone), Demonologist follows the lives of a couple who fight demons with ease but are thwarted by the trickier problems posed by raising their 15 year-old daughter...
Chris Conti (NBC) : "We're all trying to find ways to do family shows with characters that just jump off the screen. The brass ring of all brass rings is to do that comedic drama... It's a funny, spooky thriller in hopefully the good Hitchcockian tradition. If you can pull this off, you can scare the hell out of people and make them laugh at the same time."
Peacock Picks Quirky Drama Pair
By Michael Schneider, Variety, 6 October 2003
...At a time when the movie franchise was in search of new distribution, Panacea Entertainment, Park Avenue Entertainment and Blueprint Entertainment looked, collectively, to be throwing a lifeline to Pinhead in the form of a planned TV series. Larry Kuppin, who has a long history with Hellraiser through New World, announced he would executive produce alongside Eric Gardner with the series plotted as following a tabloid journalist as he uncovers an evil plot between Pinhead and a zillionaire software magnate...
No reflection on these plans but, back in 1995, Clive was less than enthusiastic about previous small-screen plans for Pinhead - see here...
2012 saw the same team look to be working on resurrecting the idea through Sonar Entertainment...
Larry Kuppin : "The mythology of the character and the series has been worked out slowly over the years... Pinhead is one of the most branded characters in the horror genre. There are all kinds of psychological angles to be explored, along with a good scare."
Raising 'Hell' On TV
By Michael Fleming, Daily Variety, 14 December 2004
Blueprint Entertainment : "It's in the early development phase; we're attaching a showrunner to formulate more of a package and series concept. There's a lot of mythology attached to Hellraiser and it's a well-known title - to translate that into a series will take a little bit of work."
Hellraiser, Clive Barker's Classic Cult Horror Movie Series, Is Being Turned Into A TV Series.
By Michael Starr, New York Post, 16 December 2004
Sonar Entertainment : "Synopsis: One of the most successful (and terrifying) franchises in film history is ready for its weekly television debut. For over 25 years, fans have followed the exploits of an insidious villain named Pinhead, summoned from a nightmarish underworld by an ancient puzzle box. He will seduce you with power and tempt you with fear, until your soul belongs to him. Now, for the first time, a weekly series set in the fantastic realm of Hellraiser will thrill audiences worldwide."

Hoop Hell, Silo, Retribution and Other Fox Projects
...Fox originally had this series of six TV movies gathered under the banner 'Clive Barker's Spirits and Shadows' as part of a wide-ranging development deal covering TV series, movies and childrens' programming. One of the planned stories was Saint Sinner, lately resurrected by the Sci-Fi Channel. Although it appears that Hoop Hell and Retribution may have been shelved, the chances of of Silo (scripted by Fred Vicarel from Barker's original storyline) actually becoming a reality, did look good. We've even heard that it was finished, was about a creature composed of worms and flies, and was scheduled to have aired before the end of 1999... Well, we missed it if it did...
"They're open to a whole range of offbeat ideas and I think it will be a good marriage. "
Barker Banks 20th TV Pact
By [ ], Daily Variety, 24 February 1997
"[For television] I do think you have to rein yourself in and, at the same time, that's part of the deal - part of what you're doing when you do television. In exchange for that, you get access to that mass audience. It hasn't frustrated me much. If the storytelling's strong, I think you can move people without blood spattered everywhere. On the other hand, as we get closer [to production], I may have an entirely different report for you."
Written In Blood

Transcript of on-line appearance, 18 August 1997
"There are long periods when you think nothing is happening and then they want something by next week. We just took in a whole series of proposals to them. All of them have been put into development, which is great. We probably have more stuff in development than another company presently working for Fox. It's a little like juggling. You know those guys spin those plates on sticks? It's almost like Anna, Robb, Joe and myself are running from one stick to the next. I'm learning more and more to delegate from this abundance of work. There's so many parts to these development processes. I can't be there all the time for all this stuff. In this last time of writing this book, it's almost impossible for me to step away from the desk. I have wonderful people working for me and that definitely helps."
By [Stephen Dressler and Cheryl Bentzen], Lost Souls, Issue 9, November 1997
"One of our movies of the week is now warming up for production, which is great. The first will be "Silo". Spelling films, with whom we had struck our deal, went bust about three or four weeks after we had done the deal. That meant we had our deal with a company that no longer existed. (Laughs). We had then to look around for a home for our movies, which is what we've been doing. But that was very troubling."
"Silo will go before the cameras later this year [1998]...I am instructed by Fox to keep it under wraps. It's a supernatural horror movie, a scary horror movie. What will be interesting will be to see how much we can slide by, because their only concern was that it might be too intense. But they seem to have got past that now. They want it for summer of next year, so they need to start shooting in the autumn.
"For the Fox material, I wrote 25 page stories which are then turned [into scripts] by writers under our guidance over at Seraphim. So we're just getting this material along."
"I had a deal over at Fox television for a while, and though nothing came of that deal in terms of actual programming, we had gotten to the point where they had said to [Seraphim], 'We'd like to be in the business of making movies-of-the-week again.' It turns out they made none of them for anyone. But what it did was cause me to create six stories for that venue. One of them was Saint Sinner, and it existed in this twenty-five page treatment. When we came to talk to the Sci-Fi Channel, it turned out that they really did want to make movies. I said, 'I've got this one that I think is really cool'. It found a life over there."
Clive And Kicking
By Mike Watt, The Dark Side, Issue 101, February/March 2003
Sandy Grushow (president, Twentieth Century Fox) : "Clive has proved himself one of the most talented and successful writers in any medium today, and we look forward to working with him on a wide range of projects."
Shadow House
...Originally in development with Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope and planned for airing as a series on HBO, this project - a "gothic-thriller" - teamed Barker with Blade's David Goyer, himself a very busy man. Disappointingly, Shadow House has gone aground and Goyer's plans with Neil Gaiman are also foundering...
"I'm producing an HBO series with Francis Ford Coppola and that's great... I mean beside the free wine... We got the free wine, yes, it's sitting next door... It's really good, but there's also a thrill value in all of this that I don't discount even as I edge toward 50. I can still be delighted that Francis Ford Coppola was sitting here at this table a week ago. That's just great! The fact he is sitting there in my house, talking about a project I co-created, talking about ' How do I do this?' I mean, this is Francis Ford Coppola, it's too wonderful."
David Goyer : "I have a pilot at HBO with Clive Barker. It's called Shadow House. Clive and I did it with Francis Ford Coppola. We're writing it right now.
"We're trying to see if we can put the HBO spin on it, so it is genre, but what I like about the HBO shows is that they take things in a more intelligent direction. There aren't any special effects in it. It's scary and psychological."
Goyer Goes To The Shadow House
By Arnold T. Blumberg, Cinescape, 18 March 2002
David Goyer : "The HBO deal for Shadow House got scuttled. We couldn't work out an agreement and the project was shelved."
Blade And Beyond
By [ ], SFX, No. 95, September 2002
David Goyer : "I was going to do this drama with Coppola and Clive Barker. They approached me, they said, 'Do you want to do this show with Coppola and Clive Barker?' Yeah! I don't even care what the show is. So they said, 'Okay, well go up to Napa and you'll hang out with them for about a week or whatever' And I'm like, 'I don't care!'
"Because I think there are three reasons why you do any project, and as long as you're clear as to which reason you're doing it for, you're fine. On the one hand, there's money. If you're doing something for money, that's fine, you're a hired gun. If you're doing something because you love the project, then it shouldn't be about the money, you should do it for nothing. And the third reason is, there's just somebody you want to work with that would be an interesting experience. And Clive and Francis are just super-interesting great guys. Clive Barker, what a lot of people don't know, is a hysterical person. He is truly funny.
"The problem with that ultimately was... HBO couldn't come up with an economic model to pay everybody. Ultimately it wasn't worth everybody's time because they couldn't carve up enough of the pie. Looking back, we should've tried to figure something out... I would work with those guys again in a second."

The Inhuman Condition and Revelations
"The guy behind Stephen King's 'It', who is now heading up the drama section of ABC, has commissioned teleplays for what would be a two hour Halloween package of 'The Inhuman Condition' and 'Revelations', which will be framed by me as a sort of host. I think it will be fun. Both stories can be put on TV - they're not really visceral stories. They can be put on TV without softening them overly much. We're working with a man called Bill Link, who is the man behind 'Columbo'. I think it will work. I'm really excited about that prospect."

By [Michael Brown], Dread, No. 6, 1992
"ABC is presently looking at teleplays of Revelations and The Inhuman Condition to be done as a double bill, to be shot some time this year. They are actually looking at drafts of them at the moment, so maybe it will actually happen. I never know with television."

...Can you really see anything which might do justice to the original slotting into the schedule between The Simpsons and Friends? With the memory of Freddie's Nightmares, Poltergeist - The Legacy and countless others still far too fresh in our minds, we're with Clive on this one...
Newly resurrected, this idea has come around again - see TV Still To Come...
"At one time there was, unfortunately, talk of a Hellraiser TV series but, somehow I just can't imagine it as a prime time show. At that point I think I'd say, 'Hey guys, enough already'. Look, this stuff is supposed to scare people to death but scaring people with television material is practically impossible. That's the last resort for any monster who, quite frankly, should be ashamed to be seen on television."

"[William Friedkin] and I had lunch about four months ago just on the basis that we wanted to be in business.... I love what he does, he loves what I do. I said what about Damnation Game and he said 'I love that book, let's talk'. I think he'll be tremendous if we could pull it off because 'The Exorcist' remains one of the best horror movies of all time and I think many of his movies were under-rated. I'm a huge fan of 'To Live and Die in L.A.', which I think was absolutely a first rate picture. I would love to be in business with him."

Ectokid TV Series
...Back in 1994 optimism still abounded for Ectokid - little were they to know that the Razorline imprint would implode before this Saturday morning cartoon could become a reality. Nevertheless, the planned resurrection of Ectokid as a TV movie (see TV Still To Come) shows that all is not yet lost for Ectokid...
Malcolm Smith : "It's looking like these creations are going to have lives outside the comics as well. Ectokid is on its way to becoming an animated TV show."
From Doodles To Decamundi
By Malcolm Smith, Hokum & Hex, Vol 1 No 6, February 1994
Marc McLaurin : "And so, this is the last issue in the first run of Ectokid. But not the end. '94 is the year for more. The future for our hero is a rosy one. The Ectokid Saturday morning cartoon is still in production, due for release in '95. An Ectokid line of toys is currently in production."

...Clive Barker's Hotel, set to be produced by Clive and Joe Daley with Warner Bros TV and scripted by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (Saw, Feast and The Collector) was picked up by ABC in 2009 after competition with other networks. 2010, however, saw Melton being less optimistic for the project...

Dread Central At The Collector Premiere
By SeanD, Dread Central (www.dreadcentral.com), 31 July 2009
"'Saw' scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton are taking up residence at Clive Barker's Hotel.
"Fresh off Dunstan's feature directorial debut 'The Collector,' the pair have sold a pitch with just that title to Warner Bros. Television, with a number of networks eyeing it as a potential series.
"Plot details are being kept under wraps, but 'Clive Barker's Hotel' is expected to follow a series of ghoulish incidents at a haunted hotel. Barker, the creator of the landmark horror franchise 'Hellraiser' and other well-known genre properties, is attached to produce, while McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision is in talks to produce. Barker associate Joe Daley will co-produce."
Clive Barker And 'Saw' Writers In A Bloody Good Teaming
By Steven Zeitchik, The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog (www.riskybusinessblog.com), 12 August 2009
"ABC has picked up the script 'Clive Barker's Hotel' from 'Saw' scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. The network bested Fox and several other nets eyeing the Warner Bros. TV project.
"The script centers on a series of ghoulish incidents at a haunted hotel.
"Horror maven Barker is attached as a producer, and McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision banner is in talks to produce. Joe Daley is co-producing. It's possible McG could come on board in a directorial capacity if the project moves forward, though the idea hasn't yet moved beyond the conversation stage."

Fact: Saving energy and water costs you more money.
I want to save energy, the more I save energy and change the way we do things in our house, the more I find that I am paying more money out of my pocket!
There are those that say, yes the initial payments for products and installations may come out of your pocket, but once they are up and running the savings are there for all to see.
Well I'm not so sure... as I will point out, on some items, the initial over-inflated costs to your pocket is not recovered within the lifetime of the product, using their own figures!
All the "experts" and industry promoting bodies, never mention or factor in the costs associated with insuring products against repair or for servicing do they?
There are also questions about exactly how much "energy saving" goes on as regards making products - in todays throw away society, can it not be the case that repairing things with a part rather than buying a replacement machine would be the best way of saving energy? How much energy is used up to make products? To dispose of products?
Installing a new boiler to replace your G rated boiler will save you money on your fuel bills.
- Not according to British gas billing department it won't!
When gas bills remained expensive after a new "Energy efficient boiler" was installed, I contacted British gas about it. They stated twice... "A new boiler does not use less gas than an old boiler!"
- According to the energy saving trust's own figures, a new boiler "could" save you upto £230 a year on your energy bills.
The energy saving trust's own figure of average cost to buy and install a new boiler is £2500.
Taking the maximum you could save per year and dividing it by the average cost of buying/installing a new energy efficient boiler, it would take you 10 years 8 months to break even!
Taking the maximum the energy saving trust say you "could" save each year on your energy bills by having the new boiler fitted and maintained, of £230 per year, it would take you 15 years and 8 months to break even!
The average lifespan of a boiler today according to the energy saving trust, is 12 years - later than this parts become obsolete, harder to repair, etc.
The boiler would need replacing after 12 years, but the projected estimated savings (based on industry data from manufacturers selling you the boilers and energy companies which sell you the energy, ie, not independant) would mean you are seriously out of pocket. Your boiler would need replacing again and you'd still have another 3 years 8 months of bill savings to go, just to get your money back from your initial outlay!
I thought saving energy was supposed to save the customer money? It doesn't look that way according to figures published by the energy saving trust - who tell us that we will save money if we replace a G rated boiler with a new energy efficient boiler.
Saving water is another big plus point we are told - yet our new energy efficient boiler uses up five pints of water each time before hot water comes out of the tap, that's all waste water!
Whilst the water is going from cold - warm - hot, it is also using electricity and gas, none of these factors are included in "energy" studies.
Fitting double glazing will save you upto £140 a year on your energy bills.
At the projected savings on our energy bill rate, of £140 per year (energy saving trust), it would take a staggering 20 years of maximum bill savings to recoup the money we paid out to have the entire house double glazed.
I thought saving energy was supposed to save me money?
Shop around and switch your energy provider/tariff.
- The top price comparison websites are marketing anything and everything about getting people to use their website and change tariff/energy provider to "save money" with promises of savings of anything between £100-£200 per year on energy bills.
Take a step back and look at the reality of this practice.
Every single customer of the big six energy companies, is subsidising the millions of pounds they are paying out each year to the top comparison websites.
According to which? around 60% of your energy bills are for wholesale energy costs, 5% is VAT, leaving 35% of what you pay for your energy every month/year, for services, pipework, and for their profits, marketing, schemes and the biggest elephant in the room, price comparison website commission payments!
When you try to breakdown your bill, the companies make it as difficult as possible to do. Statements are misleading, prices quoted on price comparison websites differ from your statements/bills as they do not include VAT, etc.
The energy companies' staff cannot agree on how they arrive at the prices they charge (Can they british gas!) as the energy companies don't allow them access to simple basic information, such as what the company are using to work out each account's usage, eg, the CV figure.
Yet strangely, you get as close as you can to getting factual figures to see how your bill is worked out and it almost balances, based on energy use!
Very bizarre, as 35% of your bill is not based on your energy use!
Why else do you think that both the top price comparison websites and the energy companies are resisting opening up their books to scrutiny so that the British public can see what our money really goes on?
If you ask a seller how much commission they are receiving for a particular product or service, by law they have to tell you prior to a sale being made.
Try asking a price comparison website how much they receive of the energy companies when you use them to switch... I wouldn't hold your breathe!
Indirectly, many people do not realise that by using price comparison websites, they are inadvertantly pushing up the price of energy for everyone.
"But I'm saving £150 per year if I switch!" - have you factored in the extra costs of energy to recover the price comparison website's commission payments that everybody is paying for?
Have you considered any early termination fees that your former energy provider may try to impose upon your wallet? It varies between energy suppliers, but on average it is around £60 per switch. Are we to seriously believe that the energy companies do not pass these "costs" on to customers?
Next add in any "admin" fees to your total bill. How much are people paying as a whole, for leaving energy contracts early? Are these "admin" charges recovering actual loss, or loss of profits that they would have had, had the customer stayed full term of their energy contract?
All is not what it would at first appear... why do you think the price comparison websites push you into switching with articles and forum questions (started by owners of the website to generate interest) that are loaded with keywords so they appear on the first page of search engine results, etc.
It's a marketing trick - they couldn't give a monkeys about you or I, all they want is as many people to hit their websites so that they receive a nice commission payment and increase their own profits. They also make big profits from selling your information on but that's for another post.
The sooner people wise up and realise that price comparison websites put up the prices for everyone the better. Although it's a different post all of its own, just look at everything that's rocketing in price - Insurances, loans, gas, electricity, water, holidays, mortgages, etc, all flying up in price and are the main income earners for price comparison websites. Coincidence? I don't think so!
Buy A rated energy efficient appliances.
- Two tumble dryers, one is a condenser dryer with a plastic tub at the bottom so that every two or three cycles, I can pull out the tub and pour the water down the sink and back into the system.
The other tumble dryer has a huge tube which is hung out of the window or via a pre cut hole in the kitchen wall. The water vapour is put back into the atmosphere, where it will gather in rain clouds and fall as rain much later or in another country, etc.
The ordinary dryer with hose, costs £180-£200. The condenser dryer that I empty to save water and put it back into the system, costs anything from £280 upwards (ours cost £320).
Why is the energy/water saving model more expensive?
Where is my incentive to help the planet, energy and water companies?
Both dryers use the same amount of electricity, both dry the same load of clothes in the same time, the only difference is that the condenser model puts 5 litres of water back into the system.
I am collecting the water here, giving it to water companies that are filling in reservoirs ready for sale to developers, at the same time as connecting more new builds and converted houses into flats to the water system and putting up their charges.
Three weeks without rain in some eastern counties are being given warnings that drought notices maybe issued shortly if they don't get considerable rainfall.
We pay in higher charges, we pay more for our appliances because they have a sticker giving them a high rating on them. When do the people benefit?
The less we use, the more they charge to maintain their level of profit.
- To help the planet each home is seperating its rubbish as never before. Reducing landfill is a major factor.
In recent years the amount of landfill needed and used has fallen dramatically. When do we ever hear from the media that this is the case?
When are our council tax bills going to be reduced? Yes that's right reduced!
The less we use landfill, the more they put up their price, we cannot win.
What are those in power and supposedly those that are lecturing us all on what we should be doing, actually doing to stop the businesses that are producing all this waste?
How many recycling centres do supermarkets have? The "waste" in them is sold to other countries, so it still ends up in land fill, only in other countries so it's not our problem.
One of THE biggest producers of waste is the supermarket.
How many times have they been fined or closed down for producing this waste, that WE have to pay increased taxes to put into landfill?
I haven't even touched upon the amount of CO2 emissions that are pumped out when supermarkets are allowed to grow things abroad and keep it chilled whilst it travels halfway around the world!
Make less trips in your cars, use public transport!
- That's why public transport costs have more than trebled in recent years is it?
A short 12 stop bus ride I made recently, to and from a town no more than 2 miles away, cost £4.40 - I could have used my car and made the same trip for much less. Surely if it's the way forward to use public transport, to save carbon emissions and energy, shouldn't the price to use it be, at the very least, reasonable?
Where's the incentive to get out of the car and use the train/bus?
Don't even get me started on trains, take five minutes to view a few of the #ripoffbritain posts on twitter, the prices of using our trains is astronomical.
How are workers supposed to use public transport to get to their place of toil, when half the time buses don't even go there, or the worker has to get one bus 2 miles in the opposite direction, to catch a bus that will get to the small town where they work? Extra costs in ticket prices are extortionate.
What about all those workers who graft on an industrial estate where buses never go?
When will we hear of "energy" and "climate" campaigners using their pressure groups to pressurise the government of the day to provide bus services that get to where people want/have to go?
When was the last time you read a god knows how much costing report, that pointed out that workers are being neglected at the same time as paying record prices for, public transport?
I cannot recall a single instance of this, why not?
So why do we bother at all?
I say again - I want to save energy and money - so why do they make it so damned expensive and difficult to do so?
Did you know that the electricity system in the UK is set up so that with simple equipment, energy can be generated and put back into the system/on the grid, using a simple 3 pin plug.
Why are companies sitting on this basic technology?
I'd wager that an entire gym could be powered by linking their gym machines to equipment that could put electricity back into the system... so why aren't we told about this?
Every energy saving measure/equipment is designed to promote the industry and increase turnover.
Put simply, the more energy we save, the higher the price of energy rises. It's not good enough!
Centrica (Owners of British Gas) have confirmed that consumers are being financially punished (punished is the right word for it) the more we save energy, via the price we are all charged for heating our homes, cooking and hot water.
In an interview given to the daily mail, Centrica quoted three reasons for the need for future price rises in energy, one of which was, "because of lower consumption"
Providing energy for homes, should never be, an opportunity for any energy company to make good profits.
The majority of profits for the energy providers should come from other sources of business, such as replacement boilers, boiler insurances/servicing contracts etc.
The actual energy provision, energy companies would do well to remember, is a service that every home requires and is essential to the entire population.
It cannot be morally or ethically right, for an energy company to put up the price of energy we all use and need, for reasoning that we are all using less energy, whilst at the same time, being encouraged by the very same energy company, spending yet more money (that comes from OUR pockets via our bills) on promoting that we should all use less energy!
This would explain why the Energy saving trust and British Gas are keeping very quiet about it and not answering questions over on our twitter feed!

Historic Athens: Dog Trot Architecture
By Anne Adams
Even with its strange name, the dog trot house is a very common type of construction throughout the South, all around East Texas, and also here in Athens. And though we might call them quaint and even outdated, they survive as a type that was for the time not just logical but very practical.
So what's a dog trot house? To answer that let's discuss its origin. When a new settler on the American frontier built a log cabin for his family often as time passed and he prospered and his family grew he needed more space. The solution was to build another cabin adjacent to the older structure, built a roof over both of them, which made for a wide open space between the two cabins – a "dog trot" house. Today we'd call that space a breezeway or a veranda and sometimes the homeowner might build an additional porch on the front. Often one cabin held the living and dining space and the other housed the sleeping quarters.
Occasionally such homes were expanded by the addition of a second story or half story or additional rooms.
So why "dog trot?" Such structures were sometimes called (understandably) "breezeway houses" since the open space served as a place for the residents to sit and enjoy cool breezes – welcome relief in the days before air conditioning. They were also labeled "dog-run", or even "possum-trot" houses. That's because the family enjoying the breezes would no doubt be joined by their many dogs that could be found lounging and sprawling wherever they could.
So because this type of cabin was versatile and easy to expand dog trot houses were very common – and one example of course is the restored Wofford House at the East Texas Arboretum here in Athens.
This pioneer home house was originally built in 1851 by an early Henderson County resident Bushrod W.J. Wofford. He had been born in Alabama, then raised in Mississippi., arriving in Texas about 1850. He built the house on property near the community of Fincastle as a traditional dog trot house of two rooms each with a fireplace on the outer walls. The house was built of pine logs, and later covered with clapboards and oak lumber cut from the surrounding woodlands.
The floor joists of the Wofford house were made of split pine logs, with the fireplace bricks made by hand and fired on the property. There were two main ridge beams, each about 55 feet long that were cut from single pine trees – beams that can be seen from the attic.
The house was expanded as the family grew. Two rooms were added behind the original structure, constructed of clapboard without the logs. Also, as was often the custom at the time, the kitchen occupied a separate building. However, when over time that building deteriorated it was demolished and the kitchen was established in a rear room.
The family got their water from a hand-dug backyard well, and preserved their vegetables in a cellar since such a below ground room would be cool. This area also served as a storm shelter.
Besides his farming operation, Wofford also had commercial interests. As the state historical marker at the site says, "During his long life, Wofford worked as a farmer and owned a Fincastle mercantile business, called Wofford and Son." At the time Wofford House was originally built Fincastle was a prosperous little community 19 miles southeast of Athens. It featured a variety of businesses, including Wofford's, but the area declined later as the railroad was relocated to run through Poynor and the commercial interests followed.
The Wofford farm spread over many acres and as was often the custom much of the land was leased to tenant farmers.
In 1855 "Bush" Wofford married Frances Ayres, and then they had 9 children by 1878, all of whom became important Henderson county residents. He and his wife moved to Athens in 1890 and he died the next year.
According to the marker, the house remained in Fincastle until 2001 and at that time the family donated it for relocation to the Arboretum. They also provided funds for the restoration of the house and its furnishing as a museum. As the Arboretum brochure puts it, the restored house "..stands today as a museum and reminder of the early pioneer spirit and way of life."
Dog trot houses – at Athens and all over the south – part of our unique and distinctive history.

Charles-Félix Parent de Rosan, né le  à Paris et mort le  à Auteuil, dans le , est un avocat, philanthrope et érudit français.

Biographie
Avocat pendant quelques années, il succéde en 1830 à son père dans la direction de la banque que celui-ci avait fondée, mais, devenu banquier malgré lui, il se laisse bientôt tenter par la littérature dramatique et la poésie lyrique, puis enfin se donne tout entier aux recherches historiques, qu'il poursuit jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. Si sa curiosité était générale, ses collections de documents concernèrent tout particulièrement l'histoire des localités qu'il habita successivement : Montmartre, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Versailles et Auteuil. Il fut aussi historien du théâtre et collectionneur.

Les legs Parent de Rosan
Il meurt au 3 la grande Avenue de la Villa-de-la-Réunion (). Selon son vœu, cette maison devient ensuite un hôpital écrit l'historien de Paris Jacques Hillairet. L'Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) note pour sa part qu'il s'agit d'un orphelinat, ouvert en 1895, qui accueille douze fillettes pauvres, avec l'ambition de les préparer à un emploi. En 1960, l'institution, alors rattachée à l'ensemble hospitalier Sainte-Perrine - Chardon-Lagache - Rossini, compte 60 places. En 1962, elle passe de l'Assistance publique à l'aide sociale à l'enfance et en 1968 ses droits et obligations sont transférés à la préfecture de Paris. Il s'agit actuellement d'un foyer.

Philanthrope français


Ryne Stanek has a 1.39 ERA in sixteen starts for the University of Arkansas.
D.J. Peterson, a third baseman for the University of New Mexico, could very well end up being the most successful hitter to come out of the 2013 draft. Currently third in the nation with a .310 batting average, Peterson also knows how to draw a walk to get on base. He also ranks third in the nation with a whopping 18 homers in 2013.
Sure, he is almost definitely a first baseman, but D.J. Peterson is a very solid bet to hit well enough to play one of the most offensive-demanding positions in the game. Peterson would be a good choice for the Mariners because he could potentially bring a lot of power to a weak lineup, he shouldn't be too expensive to sign, and he could end up being the best hitter to come from this draft.
J.P. Crawford, a top shortstop from Lakewood HS in California, will likely be a top 15 pick, unless he decides to make it known that he will not forego his commitment to the University of Southern California.
Crawford, who is the nephew of Carl Crawford, is an outstanding athlete who is extremely toolsy. Batting from the left side of the plate, Crawford has the ability to hit for average and he could potentially add some power down the lineup.
The Mariners should consider picking J.P. Crawford because he will be able to stick at shortstop, he is one of the most talented athletes in the draft, and he would have the ability to become the face of the Mariners franchise if he reaches his potential.
-Hunter Renfroe, an outfielder from Mississippi State University, was drafted in the 31st round of the 2010 draft as a catcher but has since switched to corner outfield at MSU. Renfroe has big-time power.
Even though it hasn't always shown up in games in the past, he does have fifteen homers this year. 2013 has kind of been the year he has put everything together.
With possibly a 65-70 grade arm in the outfield, Renfroe should be able to be slightly above-average in terms of defense. The Mariners should pick Renfroe because of his massive power and because he will be a quick riser through the Minors.
-Austin Meadows, an outfielder from Grayson HS in Georgia, is 6'3'' 200 lbs. with room to grow, but he has the fast twitch muscles to play center field down the line.
Meadows has some problems with his swing that will need to be fixed, but if all goes well he could be a 25-30 HR a year guy down the road.
Generally considered the top prep prospect in the draft, there is a fairly good chance that Meadows will not be available when the Mariners pick with the twelfth overall pick. However, if he is still on the board, the Mariners should select Austin Meadows because he could turn into an All-Star center fielder with above-average power.
Stanek has become one of the top pitchers at the collegiate level due to his nasty curveball/slider combo paired with decent velocity. While he does have a lot of work to do, mostly regarding commanding his fastball and a couple of mechanical issues, Stanek has been at times considered the best pitcher in this draft.
The Mariners should select Ryne Stanek with their #12 pick because he has the potential to be a #2 starter and he could rise quickly through the Minors if he makes a few improvements.

IBB Cyclery and Multisport: NEW Rotor Power Meter Arrives TODAY!
NEW Rotor Power Meter Arrives TODAY!
We are super excited to be receiving one of the very first production Rotor Power Meters -- the UPS man will be dropping it off later today. Coach Matt will slap on his 55/42 Q-rings and put it on his Argon 18 E-116, equipped with SRAM Red, R2C shifting, and Zipp FireCrest Wheels.


We recently introduced a new winter club which has received a mixed response.
The committee will be discussing the matter at their next meeting and would like to canvass the views of members to assist with these discussions.
Just to give a bit of background, the route was changed, following suggestions from members, to cut out as much as possible of the North Circular Road, due to high levels of pollution. We also took into account safety concerns of people 'jumping the red man' at the crossing by Ealing Green, the crossing by the entrance / exit to Broadway Centre car park and people straying into the cycle path along the North Circular Road. We believe that these were justifiable reasons to amend the route.
The committee would like to hear the view of members so if you have any comments, either for or against the old or new route, please e-mail chair@ealingeagles.com by Monday 31st October. The committee will then discuss at the next meeting on Tuesday 1st November. In the meantime, to avoid confusion, we will continue to use the current, new route.
